Davey, I'm still sticking with my theory that Svedberg might earn it, but Johnson will get it based on the $400K or so that they save by having him open the door instead of Svedberg. Svedberg will come up and play this year, but likely on a game by game basis so only a couple of days count against the big club's cap. Sort of the way the Senators handled Lehner last year or the year before when they had a glut of backups playing.

Are you not entertained?!?!

You are most likely right, but it stinks that it may go to Johnson based on how much he makes. Svedberg has earned it and as far as i have read, impressed people who have watched him play.

I agree, but it is what it is when the cap declines by 10%. Johnson's not here for the long haul. He's here to get a shot to show what he can do so that he has a job next year. Svedberg will be the backup next year, full time, with Subban the #1 in Providence and maybe Gothberg 4th on the depth chart. Heck, nite should be ahead of Morrisson, anyway.

Stanley, please just go back to talking about hockey and leave the pontificating and public intellectual masturbation alone. You have become a caricature. Now you'll say you were always right about Johnson when you threw him under the bus earlier this week, just like you talk about your accurate prediction that the Bruins would win the Cup in 2011, but ignore that you were wrong in 2009, 2010, 2012, and 2013.

Stanley, nothing against Johnson but I would take Khudobin. Of course most of us be can be wrong and that is fine too. I can see it now Johnson goes 13-7 not including SOL GA 2.55 and we all will get the I told u so.

And why are you celebrating Khudo? A week ago you said he'd amount to nothing and that we would never miss him.

You are right we wont miss Khudo because we have Rask, Svedberg, Johnson....

I've always said that Khudo would become a #1 in the NHL ...Well guess what ...put all your $$$ on Khudo to be the starter game 1 for the Canes...now will Johnson be better ?? Maybe not but he is another that will become #1 in the NHL ....soon you wont say it on this board but all within youself you will say dam Stanley he is cocky but so talented and accurate in his predictions ! !

Ho ! and by the way miss Red ....you are in trouble with our bet mr Lemon vs Reilley Smith and Spooner combined because sorry to mention it but I was right ...again about Smith ...he will make the team and so is Spooner...ST is done ...he will play approx 35 games and Spooner will play approx 45 games ....Mr Lemon has heart problems...didnt we all knew that already after his last season's performances or I should say his NON perfomances...
